WALTER TROUT – Survivor Blues (2019)
On January 25, 2019, WALTER TROUT will release his new album “Survivor Blues” on the Provogue label. Walter Trout is no ordinary artist. “Survivor Blues” is no ordinary covers album. From the day he conceived the project to the moment he counted off the first song in the studio, Walter Trout had a bolder plan for Survivor Blues.
“I’m riding in my car sometimes,” says the US blues titan. “I’ve got a blues station on – and here’s another band (among the countless) doing ‘Got My Mojo Workin’. And there’s a little voice in me that says, ‘Does the world need another version of that song?’
So I came up with an idea. I didn’t want to do covers of known songs. I didn’t want to do the ‘blues greatest hits’. I wanted to do old, obscure songs that have hardly been covered. And that’s how Survivor Blues started…”
Not only the song selection is stupendous, but heck, Trout is one of the best ‘heavy blues’ guitarists out there right now.
This is not just a ‘traditional blues’ album; this is a rockin’, kickin’, heavy blues record with more energy and vitality than many bland power metal releases this year.
Walter Trout and his killer band are the real deal: “Survivor Blues” will appeal classic blues rock listeners, but also hard rock fans and even metal headbanger. If you love ‘real music’, you just can’t resist Walter Trout & his guys.
If you miss the great Gary Moore or Stevie Ray Vaughan, and you like Joe Bonamassa when he decides to rock, then Walter Trout’s “Survivor Blues” is a mandatory listen.
It will be released 2019, but for me is simply one of the best blues-rock releases this year.
